Saint Paul's Cathedral

Cattedrale di San Pietro
Italy, Bologna
Peter's Basilica is the cathedral church of the Archdiocese of Bologna.
It is located on Via Indipendenza, in the heart of the historic center of the city, near the Basilica di San Petronio and Archiginnasio.
The earliest references to the Church of St. Peter in Bologna date back to the 10th century. Since then, the building has been destroyed several times and rebuilt in different styles. The fires in 906 and 1141 are Romanesque, the earthquake in 1222 is Gothic. The final rebuilding in the 17th century is the Baroque style.
Currently, the cathedral is active.
The cathedral has three organs. The main organ is built in the period 1925-1929. It has 50 registers. But this body is practically inactive and needs to be restored.
The second organ is in the crypt of the cathedral, built in 1785. The third organ (new, currently functioning) was built in 1997-2000. Has 54 registers.
The cathedral has a unique bell tower.
On it is the main bell, the so-called “la nonna” (“la nonna”), on which you can play “alla Bolognese” (“alla bolognese”), weighing 33 centners. The total weight, together with three other bells, is 65 centners. they require a team of eleven musicians.

Many tourists think that the glorious temple of San Petronio on Piazza Maggiore is the main cathedral of Bologna. But not so. The Cathedral of the city is the church of St. Peter. The greatest early riddles about the Church of St. Peter in Bologna date back to the 10th century, and in 1141 the buddy died away at the later. Later, it was inspired by the Romanesque style, with which the crypt appeared, and in 1184 the church was re-consecrated by Pope Lucius III. In 1222, the roci won again suffered for an hour to the earth coward, the ala bula was inspired by the Gothic style.
